What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Wheels and tire's are on. Had my old stuff sold so I will have to drive very careful until the lift shows up. Slight rub in reverse but nothing going forward. 285/70/17. Lift can't get here quick enough.

 

Nice truck!

 

Looks great!

 

My Inferno looks identical except for 17" rims. How were you able to get the plastidip out of the 2 "A"'s? I messed up on mine twice!

 

265/ 75 BFG Ko2 tint and leather

 

I taped the inside with tiny pieces and using a toothpick. Took some time to get it right. I'm gonna end up taking them off and buying new new ones to paint more permanently

 

Well I added the indoor/outdoor carpet to the back side of the back seats for the dog, (I forget who originally post that tip, but thanks)
Add my "step tubes" today.

Still have to do a bed cover, thinking of the G4 cover.
Waitting for my obd II connector to change some factory setting.
And I know no pictures it didn't happen, well if you ask I'll post but otherwise it's the same that has been posted in a he past.

 

Nice truck. What tint did they go with on the front ? Looks too light, IMO. Hope they didn't simply but a meter on the rears and go with that on the front. As my tint guy explained to me, front needs to be darker to appears as a better match with the rear due to the light that enters thru the windshield.

 

Finally got a sec to snap some pics. Things i've done so far.
Smoked license plate covers
lamin-x fog light covers
oem all weather floor mats (tub style)
de badge/sticker
removed visor warning stickers
wet okole's on order
snug top xtra vision on order



As a puff of air comes out where money used to be in my wallet Super stoked though

 

You are correct, the windshields are UV protected and have been in all cars and trucks for years. I wear glasses that tint when exposed to UV light and they do not change when I sit behind any vehicle.

 

@CAM37 I use to agree with the darker for the front however after thinking about it, a lot of people get x% tint all the way around and it looks the same. So why doesn't the front look lighter. I've never noticed 20% all around and have it be lighter in front than the back. This is just my opinion, not trying to start an argument. I use to think like you , but changed my thought on it. Still open minded to change back.

 

Sorry to hear about both wrecks. Just can't control the other bad drivers. I am still recovering, and never will 100%, from a wreck back in 2012. I was running 45 and someone from opposite direction decided to turn left across my nose. Thank God my sweet old 2000 Prerunner was at home. Lost daughters Civic, and a damn brand new Double Gulp, though. Handicapped after several foot surgeries and screw replacements and a stupid plate with 7 screws. Count your blessings. Trucks this new, with no frame damage, with new paint and repair technology, will be like new when, or if, repaired. Who cares about carfax if your truck is fixed right. You will not need to sell it. As long as suspension is geometrically intact, and the engine is untouched, you will laugh about it when you get 250k miles on it. I am over 55 so heeling a vehicle is much less painful and time consuming than heeling from injuries. Glad everyone is ok.

 

Yes

 

I was about to make a spare at the dealer too. Then I installed the power tailgate lock and now the spare key just sits on the inside of the armrest cover.

 

how did you take the warning stickers off so cleanly?

 

poopy iPhone picture and a filthy truck, but wheels and tires are on! alignment was way out from the lift. couldn't be happier though.

 

Used my wife's steamer, its meant to de wrinkle clothes. I was worried about the glue for the visor fabric but it turned out well. There is still a little bit of sticker glue, I think i'm going to leave it though. I don't really notice while i'm driving.

 

Pic don't do justice but I am 100% happy with these wheels and tires

 

Aluminum doesn't rust by the way.

 

I'm thinking because the Taco windshield is so friggin' big, it lets in a lot of light. I've normally owned smaller cars in my life and yes, got them done the same all around but his truck definitely looks better if you put 18-25 percent on the front while the back meters at around 35 percent.

And no worries, I don't mean to be argumentative nor did I take your post to have that tone either.
